Greetings

 

I am putting together the Awards Package for INCOSE Southern MD for 2012.  As in previous years, we have queried the Chapter for specific items of interest that help characterize the success of our chapter members individually and collectively.  That being said, hoping that all can furnish information in the following areas:

 

  • Chapter support for International Symposium
  • Membership in INCOSE International Working Groups/Technical Groups (Meetings in person/virtual/Specifics on Committee Lead roles & activity)
  • Certifications/Accreditations achieved (New ASEP, CSEP, etc.)
  • Any professional publications that you helped or were primary author – INCOSE Journal/Non-INCOSE
  • Speakership – if you have been a presenter at INCOSE or other professional association events (Unpaid)
  • Project – civic organization with SE theme
  • Attendance: International Workshop
  • Attendance: International Symposium

 

If you can please furnish this information as you have done in the past, greatly appreciated! Apologies on my end – I should have gotten this out sooner and would like to collect all “evidence” by 28 December 2012. Please keep the 2012 INCOSE Awards Package subject line.  The package award is due earlier, 6 January 2013 and thanks in advance for your help and assistance.

Ken Ptack is seeing if he is available to talk to the chapter about the International Symposium this last June in Rome.  He suggested that the Symposium pictures might be of interest to the chapter I hunted them down.  They are available on the newsletter portion of the Symposium website  They are organized by days: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday with links on the left column.  The thumbnails are very small but you can download a full size PDF of the daily newsletter.
